Sorry, I couldn't resist posting this STRAIGHT TALK in breaking news. I've only heard McCamnesty say it 40 times........ today.
Oh my gosh!!! Where did you hear that?
This just proves that McLame is not a leader. He is a FOLLOWER!!!
He said it several times during the debate tonight.
Once he accidentally said he was a leader then corrected to foot soldier.
Too bad, because Romney was ready to pounce on that too.
He also parroted the Global Warming piffle.
Is this just a rumor?
My friends, stop making fun of John McCain. He was a POW, leader, served in Vietnam. My friends, he was a footsoldier!
"Then why did you turn against it?"
Then why is he trying to tear the Reagan Coalition apart with his bare hands?
I wasn’t making fun of him but I can try to oblige......
I just saw a clip i missed johnboy was pretty freaking rude.
This whole McStain thing as a conservative is making me ill...
Hey, give him a break. After all, he never said what side he was fighting for in that revolution...
/smirk
I......I......I..... I.... AND I ALONE.....:)
No Way! Get outta here!!
It appears that will be his standard answer to every debate question unrelated to Iraq. Don't question him, he was a footsoldier
I as in California for two weeks when RONALD REAGAN was Governor...I think I know what he would say or do on any given occasion
Ever consider running for the Senate where, when they get done engaging in their theatrical battles for the Pipples benefit, they retire to the same Country Club for a collegial game of Golf or Squash. /s
"Senator, you like to talk about straight talk...well, here's a little straight talk...that's a load of bullsh!t...AND YOU KNOW IT."
That would've been Romney's "I'm paying for this microphone" Reagan moment.
No one here has ever made fun of the lamebrain's military service, but there have been a few jokes about his graduating at the bottom of his class. But as far as his political record goes,it is a joke and speaks for it's self.
Yeah, and John Kerry served in Viet Nam..............
I think when McCain told Romney that he started all of this with millions of dollars of negative ads in Iowa and NH. Romney should have said “Well senator, at least I didn’t have to lie”. I thought of it right then! Would have been a real zinger.
Has Cornyn made any comments about McVulgar recently?
McQeeg:
My friend, my twenty years in Washington, starting as a foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution, uniquely qualifies me to bring about the changes we need.
After all - I have intimate knowledge of how things work as most of the things wrong in Washington are due to bills and laws I helped push through as a member of the Senate kissing up to democrats.
By the way did you know that I served in the military, led a squadron, wore a uniform, served in Vietnam?
On which side?
I expected the ghost of Reagan to rise up and strangle McCain for saying this. He must have been turning in his grave.
Quick, where's the Dr. Scholls...?
"I'm a Hunter-FredHead, who is going to support Romney, to de-rail McVain, but ALL of these guys together, couldn't fill one of Ronald Reagan's socks."
If McCain ever comes out with the foot soldier line again it will be an indication of senility.
I think that foot soldier line must have been suggested by Rudy Giuliani. Rudy mentioned that he worked in the justice dept under Reagan at every opportunity, right after he stopped talking about 9/11.
I now have even more hope that Romney will succeed over McCain. To quote my father...
“If Mitt Romney could handle those bastards in Boston, he can handle anybody!”
My dad is from Massachusetts and calls current residents of the state things much worse than “Masshole”.
But did you know he was a POW?! Bet ya dinnit!
No and I have been listening since we already lost one senator to the liberal side.
I’m guessing McCain is more used to using the other finger.
McAztlan is also a foot soldier for those people running across our border, too
A foot soldier? Hmmm...
Ballad of the McCadre
(Sung to the 1966 Ballad of the Green Beret by Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler and Robin Moore)
Frightening senator
running sly
Feckless man stumps
every side
A man who schemes
for us to pay
The depraved dreams
of the McCadre.
Spinning things
he calls them guests
These Aliens
are Americas best
One hundred more
will cross today
But will he win
with the McCadre?
Trained to skim
wealth from this land
Ragin Moonbat
handouts demand
Mac says hell fight
by night and day
Courting praise
from the McCadre.
Spinning things
he calls them guests
These Aliens
are Americas best
One hundred more
will cross today
But will he win
with the McCadre?
In Washington, McRINO waits
His McCadre
have bet their fates
He has lied
for those obsessed
With giving them
our treasured nest.
Spinning things
he calls them guests
These Aliens
are Americas best
Twelve million more
will come one day
Ruling then
the McCadre.
BTW - McCains continued smirking was further testament to his lack of self-control, as was the fiddling with the Ball-Bearings - oops, meant his pen.
If he keeps it up it’s going to become like John “I served in Vietnam” Kerry - John “I was a footsoldier in the Reagan Revolution” McCain.
Very few, sadly, understand the reality of MA and its politics.
I pray that Ohio’s still in play in March so that I pull the lever for Mitt. Like you, I originally supported Fred but now am squarely behind Mitt after SC. Tonight’s debate only reinforced that committment.
I guess this is his way of trying to win back conservatives with his mention of Reagan. Sorry, but he has burned his bridges to the conservative movement one time too many to be forgiven this time. I really fear that millions of conservatives will not vote this time around for the GOP. Voting for the lesser of two evils will not be a good enough incentive to get conservatives to the polls to vote for McCain.
It’s really sad, when it becomes overwhelmingly apparent, that McCain’s whole presentation is really just a series of pre-selected and rehearsed sound bites that he returns to, over and over again. The whole foot soldier thing, the relentless dishonest attack on Romney’s Iraq benchmarks, the constant bragging about his endorsements, the incessant chanting that “I was there when we did this or that, and “I am the only one that can do this or that”, etc., etc.
And then bragging that he knows how to build a fence because he’s from a border state! Jeez, the issue is WILL you build a fence? Anybody can figure out HOW to do it. It looks to me like his being from a border state likely makes it LESS likely that he is going to do something about illegal immigration. He doesn’t even know what boasts not to make.
I’m seriously afraid we are going to end up with a president that basically has about a 6th grade intelectual level. It is downright frightening to me that such a person would be representing us in dealings with foreign counties, both friend and foe.
At least Romney seems to be a person of intelligence and discernment, and able to actually listen, learn, and adapt to situations on the run. He also can discuss and present complex concepts in a calm and persuasive manner.
Oh well, rant off.
He slipped up one time and called himself just a “soldier” or something instead of a “foot soldier” for Reagan.
Schwartzenkennedy was there and gave his blessing to McCain so they can collectively and in a unified manner support and uplift the democrats whom they adore and sleep with. When Giuliani came to California, he promised to run the country like Schwartzegger runs California . . . we are doomed if McCain get the nomination.
The only hope I see for Romney is if conservative were to come to their senses. I do not relish seeing the Clinton’s back in the White House laughing at us and mocking us. Hillary can easily knock off McCain. She’s way smarter than he.
I have not given up on Romney!
Funny, I was going to say he wouldn't make a pimple on a Conservative's *SS.
